I would not do that myself...

How are your tires wearing?
I was a bit worried about that too Rob, it's been 3 seasons now and they look ok. I just kept dropping the pressure until I can see the tires really flex in the sidewalls.

Hubert 1 Yeah, not only do you get to transport more stuff, but you dont have to load/unload.

I don't mind loading, but unloading is my least favourite part of the hobby...

I forgot to add, anyone on the fence about a trailer,like I have been for years. Just do it!

Hubert 1 Agreed, I don't have a trailer (yet), but even in the van I turn around sometime to see if everything looks ok. Then at the field I often inspect everything trying to find damage from travel. If you have a trailer, you have no idea what is going on inside, so opening up the doors after a hard ride, may be a suprise...
